October is here and you may already be thinking about Halloween! Please read the following information regarding trick-or-treating in Bay Highlands this year:

 

Bay Highlands Civic Association (BHCA) will not be hosting an event at Augusta Park this year, but residents are still welcome to trick-or-treat or pass out candy if they feel comfortable doing so. BHCA is adopting the following recommendations from Anne Arundel County to keep families safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19:

 

• Consider providing individually wrapped goodie bags on a table at the edge of your driveway or yard. Be sure to follow proper hand hygiene when preparing and handling treats.

• If you choose to hand out candy, we recommend doing so from your driveway or yard rather than from your door. Consider giving out candy using a scoop or tongs so candy is not directly handled and children are not reaching into candy bowls or bags.

• Please avoid touching your face and wear a face mask when 6 feet of social distance can not be maintained.

 

View the full list of recommendations from the Anne Arundel County Department of Health.

Supporting Our Neighbors During COVID-19​ (from Bay Highlands Board of Directors)

We hope you're all doing well despite this tough time of social distancing. Even if we must keep our physical distance for the time being, please remember to:

 

• Check in on your neighbors, especially if they're feeling isolated without visitors.

• Offer to pick up grocery or household items for neighbors if you're already making a trip to the store.

• Wash your hands after visiting the playground or other community areas.

 

If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to a neighbor or the BHCA Board and we'll do our best to assist or find someone to help you.
